Interesting fact
The 4 Mark Dansk coin from Denmark, minted in 1690 during the reign of Christian V, features a unique design element - a small heart-shaped ornament located above the king's crown. This tiny detail was added to the coin's design to symbolize the king's love and devotion to his people.
